Social Media is an amazing phenomenon. We have access to our favorite athletes, companies, and famous personalities at the touch of a button. It is connecting people all over the world and sharing locations that most people would have never known existed. Snowboarders are the ideal people to follow on social media. They travel to amazing locations, meet incredible people, and do awesome things! Flow has compiled their list of 5 snowboarders to keep an eye out for in 2014.

Scotty Lago

Every cloud has a silver lining. Flow and the rest of the snowboarding world is bummed that we do not get to cheer on our favorite American at Sochi this year. However, everything happens for a reason and we believe that 2014 will be a great year for Scotty. Without the pressure of the Olympics, Scotty will now be able to travel and ride amazing backcountry locations. What does that mean for his social media followers? Amazing photos, videos, and content that we can spend hours watching, re-posting, and drooling over. Expect big things from Mr. Lago in 2014.

Tim Humphreys

Tim is one of the most up to date snowboarders in the world. With GoPro being one of his sponsors, Tim constantly has a camera on him at all time. He loves editing and posting clips from his sessions and we, as social media followers, get to reap the benefits. Tim’s light-hearted approach to snowboarding and life is a breath of fresh air for social media followers. Tim is also very engaging with his followers on social media. Ask him a question, he’ll respond.

Sarka Pancochova

Sarka is currently in Sochi and when she is not competing, she is riding Russia’s pristine backcountry. Sarka is a very relaxed and happy girl, but when she puts on a contest jersey it is all business. Sarka is definitely a snowboarder to watch in 2014. Follow Sarka to see how she is doing in Sochi and with her travels in general.

Mike Basich

The term “Off the Grid” doesn’t even begin to describe Mike. This guy is as rugged as they come. He lives and breathes backcountry adventure and has traveled to the most remote places in the world. Mike doesn’t need much to survive. Give him a Flow setup, some food, and a GoPro and he delivers social media gold. Mike’s latest venture is his “Stoked Storm Ready” project where he built a house on a flatbed trailer. He is currently traveling all over North America chasing storms and snow. Mike is definitely worth following on social media.

Drayden Gardner

Drayden is an up and comer in the Snowboarding world. At just 14 years old, he is already making a name for himself. This young world traveler found himself on the podium in both slope style and pipe this year at the Burton European Open. Drayden is constantly documenting his travels on social media and is definitely worth following.

Scotty Lago is a Jack of all trades. From backcountry to superpipe, he can get it done. At his first winter olympics in 2010, he finished a bronze medalist. Scotty is now attempting to qualify for his second Winter Olympics and is ready to represent team U.S.A.

Snowboard Story

Scotty was born on November 12, 1987 in Seabrook, New Hampshire. At age 6, he was infatuated with snowboarding. Any chance he could get, Scotty would indulge himself within snowboarding. Watching videos of snowboarders in-between the times that he could make it to the mountains. Scotty’s contest success came early and often. At age 10 he was winning local contests and beginning to receive national recognition.

Scotty soon knew that he wanted snowboarding to be his profession. In 2007, he won the gold medal in the halfpipe during the World Cup and continued his success by making a spot on the 2010 U.S.A. Winter Olympic team. With his drive and determination, Scotty received a bronze medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Scotty is extremely proud and thankful for all of his competitive success and he never forgets all that snowboarding has given him.

Favorite Destinations

Scotty grew up in New Hampshire and loved to snowboard at his local mountains. He knows that there is no place better than home, but he has a very optimistic view on traveling. Scotty makes home anywhere the snow is. His favorite mountains are “any with snow”. It is this optimistic perspective on life and a competitive drive that has helped propel Scotty to global recognition within the snowboard world.

Scotty is currently attempting to qualify for the United States Olympic team for a second time in a row. The Flow family and snowboard fans alike are keeping their fingers crossed in hopes that we see Scotty Lago at Sochi in February.
